I tried booting with nouveau on my new GeForce GTX 560 TI System
recently and had it freeze hard. Only removing nouveau made it "usable"
again.
So if Linux 3.1 contains improvements for nouveau this might be very
important to keep in mind!

Seriously citing phoronix about future speculations? I could give you
tons of phoronix articles going untrue ...
#4: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) (2011-07-19 10:47:33)
Every kernel brings many new features - and we have to make a cut at
some point. There's no gurantee that 3.1 will be available in time. I
suggest you talk directly on the opensuse-kernel mailing list once 3.0
is out with the kernel developers. For now I reject this.

Seems it will become true:

http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-kernel/2011-08/msg00046.html (=
devel project for Factory kernel)
http://kernel.opensuse.org/cgit/kernel/
https://build.opensuse.org/project/subprojects?project=Kernel (no
branch named 'openSUSE-12.1')

+ Please ask on kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxx mailinglist for the actual plans.
